Have you noticed the bar that appears when you scroll down on our site? You’re given the option to share on Facebook, Twitter, via email or search. Try it… scroll down, you’ll see it. It’s a cool plugin called Apture and it’s free*.
What is Apture?
From the Apture site: Apture is a service that allows bloggers and publishers to layer in nearly all media from across the web into their sites with one click. By transforming flat web pages into connected multimedia experiences readers can fluidly dive into related information without losing their place on the page so they can see, hear and truly experience the ideas on the page.
Search feature: You can enter a term in the search box within the Apture bar as well as highlight any word or term on the page and click “Search” and you’ll see results from our site, Wikipedia, Google and more. Try it, it’s pretty cool.
Check out the Apture site to see what else it can do. The bar is fully customizable so you can match the colors of your site and you can add your logo.
We’re still playing with it, but let us know what you think. If you want to try it out on your site just let us know.
* For sites with less than five million page views per month.
